Our conference this year will be like nothing you have ever seen! We will have an elaborate mix of professional development through group meeting sessions and small group break out learning sessions. Our trade show will have vendors that can provide our membership and attendees with quality services and products to make our schools run and perform more efficiently.

We value all of our attendees and our vendors and we will continue to structure evening activities that allow for informal types of conversation, with also placing an emphasis on relationship building. Our conference this year will have several speakers that are deemed to be experts on OSHA standards, EPA practices such as integrated pest management, policies and procedures for safe drinking water in schools, and how ADA principles continue to evolve in school districts. Our trade show will be diverse and with over 70 vendors at last year’s show, we will continue to solicit business partners that want to have a vested interest in school divisions in Virginia. Our Diamond partners will have a separate one hour collaboration period with all of the membership on the second full day of the conference. Our break-out sessions this year will focus on collaboration between a school plant manager and a business partner. The VSPMA values the relationships of those we work with in the private sector to make our schools more efficient. The relevant and real life break-out sessions will be meaningful and helpful for other stakeholders in gaining an understanding of best practices.

Come celebrate with us! Our 10th annual conference will be spectacular. What a wonderful opportunity to learn new things, meet new people, and help build our future together in schools across the Commonwealth.
